What do you mean, urgent? My boyfriend asked me this question.

Street lamp wind: it means as dry as the wind

Scientists have found that the continuous drought of more than 3000 years may have had a considerable impact on ancient agriculture and social life. Therefore, "Wind of Lantern" makes divination for rain one of the most recorded contents in Oracle Bone Inscriptions.

Hong, a researcher at the Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said at a large-scale academic conference here today that Oracle Bone Inscriptions, which was produced in China during the Yin and Shang Dynasties more than 3,000 years ago, is one of the oldest scripts in the world. At that time, many pages in Oracle bone inscriptions were related to divination and rain.

According to Hongyetang's introduction at the annual meeting of China Association for Science and Technology attended by more than 3,000 scientists, the study of geological peat records shows that more than 3,000 years ago was the driest period in northern China in the past 6,000 years.

The scientist engaged in isotope labeling of global environmental change found that northern China experienced eight droughts and warm periods in the past 6,000 years, especially from 1.450 BC to 1.000 BC, which was equivalent to the Shang Dynasty in the history of China, and was the driest period in 6,000 years.

Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Shang Dynasty, like ancient Egyptian papyrus and Babylonian clay tablets, is one of the oldest writing systems in the world, and it is also the earliest systematic ancient writing found in China. Named after it was carved on the bones of tortoise shells, it was a recorded text used by royal nobles in the late Shang Dynasty to record the process and results of divination activities at that time.

Archaeologists say that in the Oracle Bone Inscriptions of Yin Ruins, there are a lot of Oracle Bone Inscriptions begging for rain, such as: Did it rain today? It rains from the west? Is it raining in the east? It rains from the north? Is it raining in the south?

Hongyetang said that the peat cellulose extracted from Jilin in northeast China can sensitively reflect the drought and rainfall changes in northern China. Moreover, his research results are consistent with the drought and rainfall reflected in the records of tree rings and salt lake deposits in the western United States, Europe and the equatorial East African Plain.

He also found that the drought and rainfall cycles in Deng Jie are related to the sunspot activity cycle. The change of solar radiation causes the change of cloud cover, which in turn leads to the change of temperature, the change of the thermal state of the ocean, the change of the interaction between the ocean and the atmosphere, and finally the change of global drought and precipitation.
